Is the disc set correctly?
Is the disc bent, scratched, or dirty?
Did you open the CD drive or remove the MPEG disc while it was operating?
Re-insert the MPEG disc and close the CD drive. Press Enter.
Is the disc bent or labeled?
Check to see if the disc is inserted correctly, and check that the disc is in good
condition. If the disc is good and inserted correctly, set [CD Drive Speed] to
[Low] in the Setup Utility.
Is the computer powered on?
To remove a disc when the computer is powered off, insert a pointed object
(e.g., the bent-out tip of a paper clip, or the tip of a pencil or ballpoint pen) into
the emergency hole. Pushing it completely to the end will free the tray so that it
can be pulled out. (The position of the emergency hole differs depending on the
drive.)
When a disc formatted by B's CLiP is in the drive, it cannot be taken out by
pressing the eject button. Perform the ejecting operation in B's CLiP. If you
cannot eject the disc even after attempting the operation with B's CLiP, shut
down Windows and after the power is off, use the emergency hole.
Did you touch the eject button when you close the tray?
